Specialist tax advice should be sought as required, in particular as to the net effect of the order before it is made. Particular considerations apply in relation to pensions. See Practice Notes: Tax implications of financial orders and Tax implications in relation to pensions.

whether stamp duty land tax (SDLT) is payable
